After Junior Brother Liu left, Lin Li returned to the quiet room and continued his retreat.
…
Three months later.
There were already two empty bottles next to Lin Li.
In addition, there are three porcelain bottles containing Qi-enhancing pills.
For the past three months, Lin Li took two Qi-boosting pills every day.
This kind of behavior is considered extravagant for other outer disciples of Xuantian Sect!
After taking one hundred and eighty Qi-boosting pills in three months, Lin Li still had more than two hundred Qi-boosting pills left.
At the same time, his cultivation level has successfully advanced from the ninth level of Qi Refining to the great perfection of Qi Refining. He is only one step away from building a foundation!
now.
His body is filled with spiritual energy!
The Dantian is filled with spiritual energy!
Spiritual energy is constantly flowing throughout the body's bones and meridians!
Although they are both at the ninth level of Qi Refining, the difference between the Great Perfection of Qi Refining and the ninth level of Qi Refining is a world of difference!
To put it in an analogy, it is like the difference between a large reservoir when it is just built and a large reservoir when it is overflowing. The amount of spiritual energy contained therein can be said to be dozens or even hundreds of times different!
The key to achieving perfection in Qi Refining and breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Stage is to continuously condense and refine the spiritual energy that is already completely full and the human body cannot bear any more, and finally transform it into spiritual liquid.
Once the spiritual energy turns into liquid, it means that the foundation has been successfully built!
"Suck~"
Lin Li took a deep breath, absorbed all the spiritual mist surrounding his body, and opened his eyes.
A flash of light!
There was a gleam of light in his eyes, but it was fleeting before returning to calm.
Feeling the immense spiritual energy in his body, Lin Li smiled and muttered to himself: "Now, my strength has increased more than tenfold compared to when I was in Linhe Town!"
"With the addition of the evolved Bloodthirsty Demon Sword, my strength has increased dozens of times!"
"At that time, in Linhe Town, if I hadn't absorbed the Blood-Drinking Demon Sword's feedback energy, I could only use the Blood-Drinking Demon Sword's sword energy for a dozen seconds. But now, relying purely on the spiritual energy in my body, I can also maintain the Blood-Drinking Demon Sword's sword energy state for several minutes!"
Lin Li recalled the time when he was training in the back mountain, and his fellow disciples who were at the ninth level of Qi Refining had a smile on their faces: "Now, even if I don't use the sword energy of the Blood-Drinking Demon Sword, I can easily defeat them! If I use the sword energy, even if I fight ten people alone, it will be easy!"
"It seems that it is time to come out of seclusion and join the Lietian Peak Sword Sect. On behalf of the Xuantian Sect, I will participate in the trial of the seven major sects of the Zhao Kingdom and strive to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill."
After making a plan in his mind, Lin Li stopped practicing and came out.
…
Xuantian Sect, Lietian Peak!
After half a day's journey, Lin Li arrived at the foot of Lietian Peak.
Here, there are two outer disciples who have reached the great perfection of Qi training and are carrying swords on their backs, guarding the mountain gate.
"Stop now!"
The disciple on the left said.
At the same time, the disciple on the right said, "This is Lietian Peak! Only Xuantian Sect's sword sect disciples can enter. Please return the way you came!"
"My dear senior brother, I am Lin Li. I am here because I have an important matter. I hope you can be flexible!"
Lin Li clasped his fists and bowed in reply.
"What?! You are Lin Li!"
The two mountain guarding disciples were suddenly shocked!
Nowadays, Lin Li's name is well-known in the entire outer sect of Xuantian Sect, and everyone knows him!
Everyone knew how much Elder Zou of the Law Enforcement Hall valued Lin Li at the sect conference four or five months ago, and they also knew that Lin Li had received a generous reward from the sect!
At the same time, as disciples guarding the Lietian Peak, they both knew that Elder Zou of the Law Enforcement Hall was also a powerful elder in the Lietian Peak Sword Sect who was very strong and ranked among the top three!
Whether in terms of strength, identity, or status, Elder Zou can be considered a well-known figure in the entire Xuantian Sect and in Lietian Peak!
Everyone knew that Elder Zou thought highly of Lin Li, so the two of them became more respectful towards Lin Li.
"I wonder what Junior Brother Lin is here for? The rules of Lietian Peak are very strict, and non-disciples of our sect are not allowed to enter. Do you need us to inform Elder Zou?"
"I have now reached the state of great perfection in Qi Refining. I came here to join the Sky-Splitting Peak Sword Sect. Please inform me, Senior Brother."
"What?! You have actually reached the state of Qi Refining Great Perfection!"
The two mountain guarding disciples were extremely shocked!
This is simply incredible!
You know, back then, at the sect-wide meeting, Lin Li had just entered the seventh level of Qi Refining!
Although the practice in the Qi Refining Stage is not as difficult as that in the Foundation Establishment Stage, it still takes several years to improve!
At the very least, it took these two mountain-guarding disciples who had reached the great perfection of Qi training more than ten to twenty years to go from the seventh level of Qi training to the great perfection of Qi training!
But now...
It has been less than half a year, just four or five months, since the last sect conference!
Lin Li, he actually went from the seventh level of Qi Refining to the great perfection of Qi Refining
This speed of practice is comparable to flying!
"Junior Brother Lin, are you telling the truth?!"
"It's true."
"Hiss! How come your cultivation speed is so fast?!"
"Thanks to the Qi-boosting pill given by the sect..."
"Even if you have the Qi-boosting Pill, your cultivation speed is too astonishing!"
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you two senior brothers. Please help me pass on the message!"
…
The top of the Sky-Splitting Peak!
Sword Palace!
“What?! Lin Li has actually reached the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Stage?!”
Elder Zou of the Law Enforcement Hall was discussing matters with Elder Kong, the leader of the Sword Sect. At this moment, when he heard what the disciple who came to deliver the message said, he was immediately shocked: "When he entered the sect, he was only at the fourth level of Qi Refining! Later, when the whole sect met, he was only at the seventh level of Qi Refining. Now, he has been a disciple for less than a year, and it is only four or five months away from the whole sect meeting. Unexpectedly, he has already reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining?!"
“Elder, I was also very surprised when I heard it. However, I have already tried it out and found that Lin Li has really reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining.”
The disciple replied.
"Hiss! It's so terrifying!"
Even the Sword Sect's leader, Elder Kong, who had reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Core, could not help but gasp in shock, saying, "For an ordinary disciple, it would take at least 20 to 30 years to cultivate from the fourth level of Qi Refining to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining! Those with poor talents may not even be able to reach the Great Perfection of Qi Refining in their entire lives. However, Lin Li actually..."
“Hurry, hurry, hurry!”
Elder Zou couldn't wait to say, "Please invite Lin Li in!"
"yes!"
…
A moment later.
Lin Li arrived at the Sword Hall, stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Greetings to the two elders!"
"Please get up quickly!"
Elder Zou asked quickly: "How come your cultivation has improved so quickly?!"
Naturally, Lin Li could not tell the truth. He used the excuse that it was the Qi-boosting pills, spirit stones, and the magical skills of Xuantian Sect, and the two elders were speechless.
Elder Zou seemed to have struck gold, secretly delighted that he finally had a successor!
Based on Lin Li's cultivation level, he will definitely be able to revitalize the sword sect!
Afterwards, the two elders held a ceremony to accept disciples, and Lin Li officially joined the Lietian Peak Sword Sect and became Elder Zou's registered disciple.
As long as Lin Li successfully builds his foundation, he can become Elder Zou’s official disciple!
